Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • ¾ lb 95% lean ground beef
  • ¾ lb extra lean ground turkey breast
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 5 tablespoons barbecue sauce (divided (I used Stubb’s Original))
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 fat free saltine crackers (crushed into crumbs)
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 strips raw turkey bacon (I used Oscar Meyer brand)

Instruction

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef and turkey and mush together with clean hands until combined. Add the onion, 3 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, saltine crumbs and egg and lightly mix together. Do not over handle.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to the lined baking sheet and form into a 9” x 5” loaf. Lay the strips of bacon in a row to cover the top of the meatloaf, each one slightly overlapping the piece before it. Tuck the ends of the bacon strips underneath the bottom of the meatloaf. Using a silicone pastry brush, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce over the entire loaf. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until your meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Cut into 12 even slices and serve.
